THE DUKE<br />
By Shôn Dale Jones<br />
TUE 3 – THU 5 APR, 8PM<br />
Written and performed by Shôn Dale Jones<br />
From the multi award-winning writer and performer<br />
behind the much-loved Hugh Hughes, The Duke explores<br />
kindness, generosity and the value of what we do. The show<br />
has been produced in aid of Save The Children’s Child<br />
Refugee Crisis and has raised over £46,000 to date.<br />
Funny, poignant and playful, The Duke weaves together<br />
the tragi-comic fate of a family heirloom – a porcelain<br />
figure of The Duke of Wellington, the quandary of a<br />
scriptwriter stretching his integrity and an unfolding<br />
disaster as thousands of children flee their homes.<br />
Blending fantasy and reality, this playful show gently<br />
challenges our priorities in a world full of crisis.<br />
